This invention relaxes to boxes and has re lesion more psi'tienlerly to o box espeeislly designed for use inconneefaion with cigarettes and kindreo merchandise and it is on. oloieot (lo s hon com rising two substantially duplicate units swing means whereby soidunits may be cletoehehly connected one to the other m. s manner; so simulste e pscltsge on? s. larger size, I

it is slso on ob ect of ride as box structure comprising two substantially duplicate units having cosotingmesns to permit the so u be'desschsbly eonneoiaed one to the other? to a single package and allowing the units to be i'esdi use and more especially i or insertion win he I I a now thei she groove or tssokws z l. 153 sols tlisrgoeket of s garment or one like. e invention consists in the details of commotion and in the combinssion and or rengoment of the seveml orts of one improved box whereby certain importenfi eclvenizsges are attained and the device rendered simpler, less ex ensivs and otherwise more oonvenleniban advantageous for use, as will be hereinsfier more folly set forth. The novel feswres of our invention will hereinsfser los definitely claimed;

in Order shes our invention may be the better onclenteoml a We will now proceed; to die-- scribe the some with reference to the mompenying snowing, where1n: I I Figure l 13 s. View in perspeolnve of e constmoseo in ecooflsnos with onembodia mm of om invension; I

of the flanges 6 thereof overlap and are tightly engaged between adjacent side walls of the assembled units A".

In the forms of our invention as illustrated in'Figures 1 to'4 the units, when in connected assembly, are arranged side by side whereas in the embodiment-[ of our invention as illustrated in Figure 5, the units U are adapted to swing one upon the other and held in assembledrelation by a coacting and preferably removable pintle 7.

From the foregoing description it is thought to be obvious that a box constructed in accordance with our invention is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembled and employed, and it' will also be obvious that our invention is susceptible of some change andmodification without departing from the principles and spirit thereof and for this reason we do not wish to be understood as limiting ourselves to the precise arran ement and formation of the several parts erein shown in carrying out our invention in practice except as hereinafter claimed. We claim y A box for dispensing cigarettes and the like comprising two substantially duplicate units having side walls, a trackway extendin along the side wall of one unit and disposed outwardly thereof, a plate fixedly carried by aside wall of the second unit interlocking with the trackway of the first unit; said plate allowing one unit to readily slide with respect to the other, the trackway being substantially C-form in cross section and secured along its intermediate portion to the side wall, the plate having its central portion anchored to its side wall with the longitudinal marginal portions of the plate free.

In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures.
